hello world!

my name is Mary Kathryn. i celebrated my seventh birthday on august 7, 2015. i still love music, especially anything that my daddy plays on the piano for me. i attend second grade & while i will tell you that i do not like school, i actually enjoy it. i enjoy reading about characters from "paw patrol" & "lego friends" & recently have begun reading some chapter books. often i use check lists to help me complete tasks & to help me know what to expect. i am constantly drawing & usually have several notebooks & pens handy. (my favorite pens are the pilot G2-07 black ones... you can't blame a girl for choosing the best!) some of my favorite things are dolphins, fish, whales, and pretty much anything that is PinK! i like to update this blog regularly so that everyone knows what is going on with me. please visit often, because i try to make a post at least every 2 or 3 days!

here are some "smiley" pictures from the last couple of days. today, daddy & mommy took me out to do some errands. while in helena, mommy & i went for a stroll. it was a chilly day, but i really enjoy being outside.

today i ate peaches for the first time. they were delicious! i also had another "first" today... i sat in the "big-kid" part of the grocery buggy when mommy & i went to the store! i stayed in the seat & behaved perfectly!

now that i can crawl & move around more, i am really making my opinions & desires known. when mommy puts me down for my nap, i would rather watch my aquarium than go to sleep. she turns it off during my nap & i don't understand why. (but she turns it on again so i can watch it when i wake up from my nap!)

here are the results of my latest photo shoot! mommy tried to let me wear my headband, but i just could not keep it on that day. i was very wiggly (no surprise!) & so mommy was glad that daddy came along to help us too!

my friends savannah & megan came to visit me this weekend (and mr. alan & mrs. candy came to see daddy & mommy). we had alot of fun playing with each other & i was very interested in everything that my "big friends" did.

here are a couple of things that i have done over the last few days. mommy & i went for a stroll one day. we went down to the lake & looked at geese, but i didn't really care about them. i've also been busy rolling around & playing & learning, like always.

yesterday i did my first crawling... well, it was really more of a drag, but you can see for yourself. i decided i wanted my books, and i was on a mission! it seems that i perform better if i am on the plain carpet, i guess because all the pretty pictures on my blanket distract me from my goal.

mommy thought this was funny... i guess i wore myself out with the crawling. once she put in my swing, i was asleep in about 2 minutes!

while we were in virginia, the weather got pretty warm. i loved spending time outside. i got to watch gdaddy, uncle don, & daddy put up a flag. i also played on gg's goose. in one of these pictures, i was biting gg's finger -- i think i may have hurt her a little.

here are a couple of pictures that mommy took while we were in virginia. my teeth are still bothering me, and lately i like to move my tongue around in funny ways. maybe it helps my gums to feel a little better.

grammy started playing this 1-2-3 game with me. she counts to "3" & puts me up high in the air. while we were in virginia, grammy & aunt debbie noticed that after they counted to "2," that i would get excited. it was because i knew that "3" and a trip up in the air would follow! mommy says i am a genius because i know how to count. i just think it is fun!

there are so many great things i want to share with you about my vacation. i'll try to make a post or two every day so we can catch up. these pictures are of my family in virginia & my family in north carolina. i do have an announcement to make: i am truly sleeping through the night now! on our first night in virginia, we skipped my late night bottle & i did just fine! so now i usually eat just 4 times a day, & i have solid foods at each meal.

we're finally home & settled in after our vacation to north carolina & virginia. we visited pappy's family in north carolina & we visited grammy's family in virginia. i spent a lot of time riding in the car, but i was an excellent traveller! mostly, i just slept & played. here is an example of my good behavior in the car...
